Well that wasn't too good.  I ran putty in Gnome, set translation to CP437,
ssh'd to localhost and ran my bbs script.  I logged into my bbs and it was
almost right.. the gaps between lines were gone, but most high ascii characters
were now just a shaded block.

When I ran putty from a Windows computer with CP437 translation, ssh'd into my
linux box and ran the script everything looks 100% perfect.  I still suspect a
font issue on Linux?

When I use putty to telnet directly into my bbs, I find it does a terrible job
with many of my screens.  Some entire screens render on only a few lines, some
doors are unusable, etc... I am surprised that using putty to run minicom
solves this problem?

Anyway, if anyone has suggestions to fix my font issues in linux please let me
know. I have tried installing some fonts like a vga font, terminus-dos, etc.. I
ran a couple commands to make X know about the right away, but could not see
these fonts in font dialogs (gedit, and my terminal window).  Even after
rebooting.


Thanks,
Ryan
